Because it's not usually overbooked - I've done the flight with 50 pax or so from time to time....

Loose HAAB Payscale? Maybe lose might fit the sentence better

Why lose Addis? It puts the fun back into flying. Not really a challenge if you give the place a little thought before heading in there.
Remember:

TIA

My friend, you just managed to call me a dyslexic thoughtless pilot in an English you high school teacher you have been proud of.
Obviously you inflated ego has never reached the boundary of it comfort zone. More likely you have passed it without noticing. Hopefully I have never sat next to you..

Airline flying should not be challenging. It should be safe and controlled.I seriously doubt you ever been to HAAB in a thunderstorm, landing at 189T with useless ATC and a few Cumulus Granitus around.

Anyway what do I care. Go wind someone else up Cadetpilot..

Actually i have payscale - in both 330 and 340 from right and left seats and with Cb's all around and crap ATC... YAWN.... Don't forget the big granitus and high elevation, max landing weight, set up for 25 - now do the gps for 07 blah blah blah... As I said - TIA (look it up)

You certainly 'bite' back rather hard don't you? What got up your backside?

You are a small laughable fool.......... All I said was it's lose not loose.

Actually old chap I didn't go to 'high school'. It was 'public school' (which is a private school but I doubt you'd understand the irony).

WK I think you have upset him.

I wonder whether you were my fag at public school? No on second thoughts I doubt it was as good as the one I went to

We chaps must stick together against the rabble.
